First Time Overclocking Results
Currently upgrading my system..... specs so far:
Lian-Li PC6010 Case Antec 480W TruBlue PSU Asus P4C800-E Dlx Intel P4 2.8c 800 FSB (Stock HS/Fan) Generic 256MB 400DDR Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS Pro 32MB WD 40GB IDE / 27GB Maxtor IDE Lite-On 52x CDRW Coolermaster Round IDE/FD Cables Lian Li Aquarium w/Cold Cathode kit System is being slowly replaced, part-by-part, week-by-week. Next upgrade is 1GB Ram, then either 5900 or 9800 GPU, followed by 4 large HDDs and DVD+/-, lastly will replace monitor, speakers, etc. This is my first attempt at Overclocking, I used ASUS Probe and Fresh Diagnose for system monitoring and benchmarks. Overclocking was performed via ASUS BIOS in 5% FSB increments CPU Bench Results - Stock WhetStone FPU 3438 DhryStone ALU 6401 Speed 2806 MHz 5% Overclock WhetStone FPU 3598 DhryStone ALU 6520 Speed 2940 MHz 10% Overclock WhetStone FPU 4192 DhryStone ALU 7051 Speed 3080 MHz Memory Benchmark Stock Integer Assignment 21072 Real Assignment 21651 Integer Split 32334 Real Split 32298 5% Overclock Integer Assignment 21586 Real Assignment 22098 Integer Split 32740 Real Split 32313 10% Overclock Integer Assignment 14346 Real Assignment 14548 Integer Split 32302 Real Split 22800 Net Gains CPU @ 5% OC WhetStone FPU - 4.65% CPU @ 5% OC DhryStone ALU - 1.80% CPU @ 5% OC Speed (MHz) - 4.78% CPU @10% OC WhetStone FPU - 21.93% CPU @10% OC DhryStone ALU - 10.15% CPU @10% OC Speed (MHz) - 9.76% MEM @ 5% OC IA - 2.43% MEM @ 5% OC RA - 2.06% MEM @ 5% OC IS - 1.25 % MEM @ 5% OC RS - 0.04% MEM @ 10% OC - Major Loss Ok, theres the numbers. ASUS Probe reported no major shift in Idle CPU Temp during the changes to FSB and ran between 35-40 C at idle, maxing out @ 50 C while Benchmarking @ 220Mhz FSB. Problems : With FSB at 210Mhz (5%) Asus Probe reported the CPU Fan RPM was 0, but reported over 2000 RPM at both 200 and 220 FSB. Memory Performance saw gains with 210MHz FSB, but took a major hit with 220MHz FSB. I'm going to research ways of slowing down my 400MHz Memory as the FSB increases, but I will be replacing my current memory with Dual Channel Corsair 1GB Total and am wondering if this is a good reason to get 500Mhz modules. Isn't it true that higher Mhz Mem trades in lower latency for the speed gain? Does that matter? Any feedback and/or advice for this OC'ing Newb is greatly appreciated. |
